Saucony Endorphin Azura

Saucony Endorphin Azura review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, with a wide toe box and precise midfoot wrap. Runners with wide feet should pay attention to the pinky toe area, which runs slightly narrow.

Feel

Firm, responsive ride thanks to PWRRUN PB and SpeedRoll; transitions are smooth and continuous. Not a soft shoe: those seeking plush cushioning are not the target.

Durability

Estimated lifespan between 500 and 600 km, with potential to exceed that threshold. XT-900 outsole is solid; exposed midsole areas at the forefoot show cosmetic wear without functional loss.

Best for

Versatile daily trainer for paces between 3:30 and 5:30/km: tempo runs, fartlek, progression runs, long runs up to 20–25 km. Also suitable for runners over 165 lbs with a mild pronation tendency. Not ideal below 3:30/km.

Weak points

The SpeedRoll rocker can feel intrusive for those unaccustomed to it. The tapered toe box causes crowding for wide-footed runners or those between sizes.
